Answer:
Oxygen content is inversely related to carbon content. For example, coals of 65% carbon may contain 30% oxygen, while coals of 95% carbon may contain only 2-3% oxygen; this is significant because the more oxygen a coal contains, the easier it is to start to burn it, or to achieve its ignition.
